Commit Digest and Dot

[Danny Allen]

I agree, it was quite demotivating for me when I did the Digest myself to do all that work and see little or no comments on the Dot, even though I knew it was quite highly read.

As a long time Dot editor, I know the whole backstory surrounding the comment situation, but even taking into account its goals, I consider the policy a failure. I will look at sending an email to the Dot list to start a discussion about this (although i'm not sure how simple technically it is for them to turn off the authentication system now...)

Cheers,
Danny

Dear all,

from my point of view I would appreciate a bit more feedback on the
dot. Compared to the situation before the moderation system and the
requirement for an account (on dot.kde) came into place there were a
lot more comments after the Digest was published (at least this is my
unscientific impression). On the plus side there were also a lot more
SPAM / Troll comments.
